300 ALLIANCE BOYS IN SERVICE, MEMBER
OF DRAFT BOARD SAYS; NO DESERTERS.
Prof. J. B. Bowman, of the Local Draft Board, stated on
Tuesday morning, that of the total of some 415 selective service men who have been sent out of Alliance to various camps
and army barracks, that not a single one has failed to reach his
destination. This speaks well for the honor of the men who,
should any have desired to desert, might easily have done sdas
opportunities were at hand. One man escaped from the train en
route to Camp Sherman but his mind was affected, he later
dying in the state hospital at Massillon.
Mr. Bowman estimates that with the 415 selective service
men, the 200 volunteers of Company K, 146th Infantry, and the
numerous volunteers for the army, marine corps and navy, that
Alliance now has about eight hundred young men in the service of "Uncle Sam."

At the same Ume, those who buy

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS TO THE REVIEW.)
New York, N. Y., May 14—Reports thst thousands of rifles
had been secretly imported from the Krupp works at Essen in order
to "Germanize" ths United States"were related today at sn inquiry
conducted by State Attorney General Lewis into rumors of hoarding of arms by German interests in ths United States.
Edgar A. Holmes of this city, a witness, credited the reporta
to s man named James H. Crossley. Holmes, as a broker, tried to
bny the rifles, but was unsuccessful, he said. During the negotiae-
tions, he said, Crossley told him that some 1,000,000 rifles had been
imported from Essen vis the Hoboken docks by two German steamship companies and wers to be used in ths United States if ths Germans wsrs successful in reaching the English chsnnel ports. Mr.
Holmes identified a copy of a letter written by himself offering to
sell one million Mausers and one million cartridges. The letter,
dated June 9, 1917, was addressed to Dr. Thomas Darlington of
New York, former health commissioner.
Holmes testified he had never seen the articles but had talked
with sn engineer named Francis J. Judd who said he had^aeen boxed
containing 280,000 rifles. Two months sgo, Holmes.said, the United States tried ts buy them but they were not produced. Holmes
hsd been in touch with United States officials throughout the negotiations, hs said.
Gustave Lussing was named by Holmes as the msn who was
said by various intermediaries to be able to deliver the goods.
Judd told Holmes the rifles had been in an east side warehouse
in New York and had been removed but were within an automobile
ride of an hour and a half from Broadway.
Charles H. Murray, a hotel owner of Washington, D. C, testified
he had heard of the existence of thc rifles through a Russian agent,
Ivan Norodny, who claimed they had been taken to an upstate
New York farm and that he had shot one of them himself. Nor*
odny said Lussing had a farm at Woodbury Falls and that a party c*J
German officers, including Captain Hans Tauscher, had visited rf
after dining at the German club in New York. Through Norodny,
Murray met Lussing and was shown an itemized statement of the
quantity of rifles hidden as follows:
450,000 Mauser guns, 250,000,000 cartridges; 100,000 carbines, 1,000 rounds cartridges, 1,000,000 rifles and 600 machine

Amsterdam, Holland, May 14.—Emperor WUllam has Issued a proclamation concerning Lithuania la wbicb
he saya that it is assumed Lithuania
WiU participate in the war burdens
of Germany.
In tbe proclamation th* "independence" of Lithuania, allied with tbe
German empire is recognized.
"We assume that the conventions
to be concluded," the proclamaUon
saya further, "will take the Interests
Sf th* Oerman empire into account
equally with those of Lithuania and
ttat Lithuania will participate ia th*
war burdens of Germany which secured her liberation."
Lithuania ls one of the former Russian border statea which the Germans have attempted to set up as
nominally independent countries under German Influence. Germany is
making every effort to exploit th*
states economically but except ln the
case of Poland has not attempted ta
force taa former Russian subjects to
fight with the German army, aa the
emperor's announcement indicates
may now be don* ta Lithuania. Tbe
attempt to enroll a Polish army on
the same plea that ia now mada la
the case of Lithuania was a fdlure ta
tbe "Polish legion" was abandoned.
Tbe Vorwaerts said recenUy thst
strong opposition was developing
among the Lithuanians to transforming their country into a German seml-
federd state. EnUre Independence Is
demanded. The Lithuanians number
abont 2,000,000 and are found mainly
ta tb* former Russian governments
of Kovno, Vllna, Grodno and Suwalki.

At the same Ume, those who buy

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS TO THE REVIEW.)
New York, N. Y., May 14—Reports thst thousands of rifles
had been secretly imported from the Krupp works at Essen in order
to "Germanize" ths United States"were related today at sn inquiry
conducted by State Attorney General Lewis into rumors of hoarding of arms by German interests in ths United States.
Edgar A. Holmes of this city, a witness, credited the reporta
to s man named James H. Crossley. Holmes, as a broker, tried to
bny the rifles, but was unsuccessful, he said. During the negotiae-
tions, he said, Crossley told him that some 1,000,000 rifles had been
imported from Essen vis the Hoboken docks by two German steamship companies and wers to be used in ths United States if ths Germans wsrs successful in reaching the English chsnnel ports. Mr.
Holmes identified a copy of a letter written by himself offering to
sell one million Mausers and one million cartridges. The letter,
dated June 9, 1917, was addressed to Dr. Thomas Darlington of
New York, former health commissioner.
Holmes testified he had never seen the articles but had talked
with sn engineer named Francis J. Judd who said he had^aeen boxed
containing 280,000 rifles. Two months sgo, Holmes.said, the United States tried ts buy them but they were not produced. Holmes
hsd been in touch with United States officials throughout the negotiations, hs said.
Gustave Lussing was named by Holmes as the msn who was
said by various intermediaries to be able to deliver the goods.
Judd told Holmes the rifles had been in an east side warehouse
in New York and had been removed but were within an automobile
ride of an hour and a half from Broadway.
Charles H. Murray, a hotel owner of Washington, D. C, testified
he had heard of the existence of thc rifles through a Russian agent,
Ivan Norodny, who claimed they had been taken to an upstate
New York farm and that he had shot one of them himself. Nor*
odny said Lussing had a farm at Woodbury Falls and that a party c*J
German officers, including Captain Hans Tauscher, had visited rf
after dining at the German club in New York. Through Norodny,
Murray met Lussing and was shown an itemized statement of the
quantity of rifles hidden as follows:
450,000 Mauser guns, 250,000,000 cartridges; 100,000 carbines, 1,000 rounds cartridges, 1,000,000 rifles and 600 machine
